Citation : Gurib-Fakim, A.; Guého, J.; Plantes médicinales de l'ile Rodrigues; 1994
Abstract : 193 plants from 65 different families have been identified on Rodrigues Island as having a therapeutic value. The botanical description, the local and geographic distribution as well as the origin of each plant species entering the traditional pharmacopeia are reported. As far as possible, the phytochemical composition as well as the pharmacological properties, as reported in the literature, for each species are given in the text. Finally a comparative study on the use of these plants in Rodrigues, with those existing in the other island states of the Indian Ocean has also been carried out.

Title : The future of the Mauritius sugar industry
Year of publication : 1996
Keywords : SUGARCANE; SUGAR INDUSTRY; ECONOMICS; DIVERSIFICATION; EXTENSION; RESEARCH; DEVELOPMENT; TECHNOLOGY TRANSFERS; ENVIRONMENT; MSIRI STAFF; MAURITIUS;
Citation : Julien, M. H. R.; The future of the Mauritius sugar industry; 1996
Abstract : Sugarcane cultivation is the main agricultural activity in Mauritius and contributes c. 30 per cent of net earnings. Sugar is sold primarily on preferential European Union markets at remunerative prices. Total sugar production has been declining primarily because of abandonment of cane cultivation which has been partly offset by higher sugar yield/ha. The industry has embarked on a programme of increasing productivity per unit area, reducing costs of production, and diversifying both within sugar and in crops grown in association with it, in order to remain sustainable and continue to play a dominant role in the Mauritius mixed economy. The role of R, D. and E in attaining the targets set is discussed and the priorities identified are strategis research, extension and support to development.

Title : Impact of sugarcane cultivation on water quality in Mauritius
Year of publication : 1996
Keywords : SUGARCANE; WATER COMPOSITION AND QUALITY; POLLUTION; NITRATES; HERBICIDE RESIDUES; MSIRI STAFF; CHEM; MAURITIUS;
Citation : Ng Kee Kwong, K. F.; Umrit, G.; Julien, M. H. R.; Impact of sugarcane cultivation on water quality in Mauritius; 1996
Abstract : With approximately 90 per cent of the 90000 ha of existing arable land under sugarcane, cultivation of the crop represents, in public opinion, the greatest uncontrolled threat to the surface and ground waters in Mauritius. Yet monitoring of nitrate and herbicide residues soluble in drinking water sources have shown the concentrations of nitrate and herbicide residues to be far below the maximum permissible in the 1991 Environment Protection Act of Mauritius (e.g. 50 mg nitrate/L and 3 µg atrazine/L). The data obtained however do not provide a complete assurance that sugarcane cultivation does not degrade water quality or the wider environment. Data on emission of nitrous oxide to the atmosphere and on contamination of water courses by agrochemicals carried by sediment during erosion need to be obtained and examined before such assurance can be given.
